| | Entrance Ticket to the Scuola di San Rocco |
 | | When Ruskin first visited the Scuola, it was virtually in ruins, unlit, and not open to the general public. |
 | | Today, more than a century after the beginning of the museum movement, which made works of art available to the general public, the building is appreciated by the Venetian authorities -- as it clearly wasn't in Ruskin's time. |
 | | In the past few years, the Scuola has seen a wonderful restoration, which reveals the magnificent carved wooden walls, and Tintoretto's magnificent series of paintings are finally visible. |
